What is recorded here

In rocky upland pasture, on a SE-facing slope. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular enclosure and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (c. 35m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE) defined by a solid line similar to a cashel (SL046-015001-) c. 700m to S. Little remains of this enclosure, which appears to have encompassed a natural terrace (c. 31m NE-SW) defined by a slope (H 1m). A band of ferns which follows a shallow curve at the break of slope NE-S may indicate the line of the enclosing element. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
